All for children

Volunteers with the Evelyn Rubenstein Jewish Community Center of Houston 27th Annual Children’s Scholarship Ball are busy planning an event to benefit local children. The funds raised will benefit the Irvin Kaplan Children’s Scholarship Fund, and the event will take place on March 4 at the Royal Sonesta Hotel. The ball helps to ensure that kids can participate in early childhood care, educational activities, special-needs programs and J Camps. Each year, more than 300 children receive scholarship assistance. The 2017 honorees, Lauren and Jeremy Blachman and Scott McClelland, were selected for their service to both the Jewish and secular community and for their efforts to improve the quality of life for children. Honorary chairs are Eve and Bobby Lapin and Lisa Helfman. Event and silent auction chairs are (from left) Marci Gilbert, Abby Ackerman, Erika Kaufman and Ashley Roseman.
